Chapter 374: About the Crystal part 1
Even as the next day dawned, the dawn of the second day Elin had gone missing with the crystal being the location she'd 'gone' to, Jonas refused to leave the immediate area
He didn't have the capability at the moment of staying awake a full 24 hours, but he was at least confident that nothing had come by them. Potentially dangerous or not. Maybe it'd come back later after he'd gotten some rest, but he wasn't that worried about it. Besides, he had a suspicion that he just wasn't able to do it this time simply because he didn't have anything to keep himself focused on. As even walking wouls require a level of focus sitting around didn't.
The sun shone brightly, and Jonas hoped that it wouldn't be long before Elin would be able to return from wherever she'd gone. After all, if she entered the crystal, then that should mean that she'd used it to access somewhere else. Because Jonas refused to accept that, even with all the magic he'd seen so far, that living inside such a small space was even possible.
However, since he had no idea of when that had occurred, he couldn't say when he needed to pay the most attention. After all, he only knew about when he'd woken up, even though he still had a stuffy nose and sore throat.
Why getting sick took longer some times than it did others, Jonas wasn't sure. All he could say was that it was a major pain, no matter when it occurred or how long it lasted.
Or maybe I'm just letting myself get too distracted, Jonas mused to himself as he looked around himself. He wasn't really sure what he was looking for, or if he was looking for anything in the first place, but he still felt like there was something that needed his attention.
Yet, nothing came into view or to his mind.
Ember hadn't stuck around for the night, and Jonas wasn't sure if he should expect her at any time before Elin showed up. As she could appear whenever, but he wasn't banking on it when he could use her to talk to in order to pass time more quickly.
That would be something he was certain would really be useful for him right then. Which naturally would be something denied him, likely for those exact same reasons.
